MEDIA ADVISORY: Wind River Discusses the Role of Device Software Optimization in Automotive Telematics at 5th Annual Telematics Detroit Show May 16-17, 2005

WHAT:Wind River Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: WIND), the global leader in Device Software Optimization (DSO), today announced that John Bruggeman, Wind River’s chief marketing officer, will be delivering a keynote address at Telematics Detroit entitled "Will Convergence Kill Your Company?" The keynote will discuss the impact convergence will have on a company's business model and how implementing a DSO strategy will help automotive telematics manufacturers stay ahead of the curve while keeping on schedule and under budget.

In addition, John Fanelli, Wind River's vice president, product management and planning, will be hosting a panel discussion on optimizing software development through partnerships, standardization, and openness. The panelists will discuss how to leverage hardware and software partnerships to optimize the telematics development processes while reducing complexity, risk, and time to market.

WHY:Next-generation telematics devices are rapidly integrating communication, information, navigation and entertainment functionality into one car information system. As the complexity of software development soars, so does the pressure to create high quality, highly reliable and highly secure automotive telematics. Device Software Optimization meets this pressure by providing cheaper, faster, and more reliable technologies for developers to differentiate their products against their competitors.

Both the keynote speech and panel discussion will address the steps developers need to take in order to maintain competitive advantages. John Bruggeman and John Fanelli will share their thoughts on what companies can do to deliver their best products with the right components in order to guarantee success.
